Notice to Republicans.
Erenham, Texas, \
August 20, 1874. i
Upon consultation with leading
Republicans lrom all parts of the
State, it is deemed advisable to re-
commend that conventions be held
in each Congressional District as
early as the 15th of September.
Chairmen of Coiignessioiml Execu-
tive Committees are requested to is-
sue calls at once for such conven-
tions, to meet at some central point
iu each District at the time indicat-
ed, or at such other time as may be
most suitable.
The conventions thus assembled
may nominate candidates for Con-
gress, or take such other action as
may be deemed best for the welfare
and benefit of the Republican party,
at their discretion.
BOULDS BAKEK,
Chairman Republican State
Ex. Committee.
Past Shame and Future Hope
of Republicanism in Texas.
The course of the Express in ex-
pressing favorable sentiments to-
ward such men as Gov. Throckmor-
ton and Judge Hancock and others,
has excited some comment. We
have only to say in reply that the
Express is laboring now to assist in
laying that broad, liberal, compre-
hensive, and strong platform for the
Republican party which ought to
have been laid six years ago. Such
a platform was not established at
that time, and the result has been,
that the best and strongest men of
this State, who naturally belonged
to the Republican party, who should
have been its pillars, prophets, and
heroes, have been engaged in bitter
and incessant war with each other.
Thev have thus destroyed them-
old Union men aud old Line Whigs,
whether in the Confederate army or
not, and all the ex Confederate sol-
diers who sought the reconstruction
of the State, and wished to take a
truly national and patriotic position
in politics,—all such men, at that
time, na.'urally gravitated toward
the Republican party.
But the strife in the Recoustruc
tion Convention : tlie unnecessary
and fanatically foolish race for Gov-
ernor between Davis and Hamilton,
withits shameful bitterness; and then
the horrid strife kept up between
these two tactions during the whole
of the Davis administration ; to-
gether with the warfare between
our Senators in Congress, broke
down the morale of the party ; drove
peace-loving men from our ranks;
deterred thousands of others who
were ready to join us; caused many
of the strongest men who naturally
belonged to us to seek a more con-
genial position iu the Democratic
party; threw the administration of
the affairs of the party into the
hands of men who had neither the
confidence of the people of Texas,
nor of the Administration at Wash
ington.
Texas, with her vast prospects
and her immense possibilities, was
within the control of the Republi-
can party, and might have been se-
cured permanently. Never was
such a golden opportunity so foolish
ly, fatally, and criminally thrown
away.
The Express will continue to la-
bor for the establishment of the
platform that ought to have been
establised originally. It belongs to
no faction or ring, but will fight'
every such thing. It will labor to
bring to the rightful told the class-
es that have been driven away. It
will labor to break the control of
the close corporation of carpetbag
adventurers who now fill most of
the Federal offices in the State, and
who make the name of Repnblican-
ism odious. It will labor to do jus
tice to the neglected and over-ridden
classes from whom alone our in-
creased strength must come — the
original Union citizens of the
State, who were either in or
out of the Confederate army ; the
Old Line Whigs of the State,
most of whom were in the Confede-
rate army; and the large and in-
creasing Germau population of the
State. All these classes, together
with the anti secession and recon-
struction Democrats, naturally be-
longing to the Republican party,
and will yet make it powerful, if
they have the opportunity and the
proper encouragement. If this can
not be, all these classes will be driv-
en from the Republican party for
good. They have suffered all the
approve the bond if tlie sureties were
worth the amount required. In the mean
time Mr. Clark, the sheriff, rushed around
summoning a poste, and by tlie time tlie
court was opened, the sheriff had fifty
well-armed men to see that the prisoners
were not turned loose.
Judge Hey proceeded to examine as to
the sufficiency of the bond offered, which,
not appearing to his satisfaction, it was
not approved, and the court adjourned
until Friday morning; at 9 o'clock.
Friday morning [tlie news having spread
like iire that A. Roberts had a mob from
Llano county to take prisoners out of jail]
there were 100 men armed with Winches-
ter rifles, and were ready to make it hot
for the cowraiders should they attempt to
do anything ; but seeing that, the company
meant business, they mounted theii horses
and left, and like brave men, killed cows
and shot into the schoolhouae, on their
way home.
At 9o'clock the defendants wore brought
into court for tria', Mr. Todd representing
the State, and Mr. J. C. Mathews the de-
fendant. Mr. Todd moved to dismiss as
to three of the defendants for the purpose
of making witnesses of theui. The other
parties announced themselves ready for
the trial, and plead not guilty, and after a
trial of six hours, the jury brought in a
verdict of guilty of driving 100 head of
cattle out of Mason county, aud assessed a
fine of §25 for each head, against all.-of the
defendants, making the sum of $2,500,
whereupon Mr. Mathews moved for a new
trial, which being over-ruled by the court
took an appeal to the District Court. On
Saturday the prisoners gave the required
bond and were turned loose.
Since then J. W. Gamel ami Henry W.
Morris liavo received threatening letters
from Al. Roberts, saying if ho did not get
even with Mason county he would not
charge tliem anything, and he is carrying
his threat into execution, as a party of 20
men are in the county driving cattle
again. Major Jones, of the frontier force,
(who is now on his way to Fredericksburg)
with forty men and a posse of citizens of
Mason county, started this morning after
theui.
Many who are suffering from the effects
of the warm weather and are debilitated,
are advised by physicians to fake moderate
amounts of whisky two or three times
during the day. In a little while those
who adopt this advice frequently increase
the number of "driuks," and in time be
come continued inebriates. A beverage
which will not create thirst foi' intoxicat-
ing liquors, and which is intended es-
pecially foi' the benefit of debilitated por-
tions, whether at home or abroad, is Dr.
Schenck's Pea Weed Tonic. Containing
tlie juices of many medicinal herbs, this
preparation does not create an appetite
for the intoxicating cup. The nourishing
and the life-supporting properties of many
valuable natural productions contained in
it and well known to medical men have a
most strengthening influence. A single
bottle of the Tonic will demonstrate its
valuable qualities. For debility arising
from sickness, over exertion or from any
c&use whatever, a wineglassfull of Sea
Weed Tonic taken after meals will
strengthen the stomach and create an ap-
petite for wholesome food. To all who
are about leaving their homes, we desire
to say that the exoellent effects of Dr.
Schenck's seasonable remedies, Sea Weed
tonic, and Mandrake Pills, are particularly
evident when taken by those who are
injuriously affected by a change of water
aiid diet. No ' person should leave home
without taking a supply of these safe-
guards along. For sale by all Druggists.

large hospitals of Paris, London, Vienna
and Copenhagen,and a thorough,large and
varied practice during 15 years' has gain-
ed the most thorough knowledge of the
nature of all chronic diseases^ and the
treatment thereof, and he has m his ex-
tensive practicnj had an unparalleled suc-
cess, and very often effected a cure where
every remedy had beeh tried and all hope
of restoration of i.ealth had been despair-
ed of.
Nabody who ever suffered of tlie tedious
aud life imbittering disease—DYSPEPSIA
— has ever in vain callee on Dr. Bille. In
every case has he by his new method of
treatment restored the functions of the
stomach, and with it thefhealthand vigor
of the patient, and many aj person does to-
day, with gratitude, recall the moment
he placed himself under Dr. Bills'* cure.
For his treatment of LADIES' DISEAS-
ES, Dr. Bill«j is deservedly renowned, and
no lady suffering from AMENORRHEA,
HYSTERIA, PROLAPSUS UTERI or any
other disease peculiar to t lie female system
should fail to call on Dr. Bille, as they
will quickly be releived of their ruttering
and ultimately restored to perfect health.
Diseases of a Vrivate Nature
Dr. Bille has made a speciality, and this
scourge ot humanity, unsuccessfully treat-
ed by most practitioners, is easy and
quickly overcome by his new treatment.
Being a pupil of the most renowned Phy-
sician for syphilitic diseases in tlie world,
Prof. Ricord, in Paris, Dr. Bille will al-
ways guarantee a cure m any case of
syphilitic disease which may come under
his treatment; and hundreds in this city
and vicinity can testify that iu cases of
syphilitic nature, where other physicians
have failed, Dr. Bille has always been
successful.

our representatives at Washington
appear in the attitude of the chiefs
of warring factions ot tricksters, in-
stead of accredited leaders ot the
united Republican party of Texas.
Tbe beginning of these miserable
strifes began before and during the
Reconstruction Constitutional Con-
vention, headed, on one side, by
Gov, A. J. Hamilton, aud, on the
other, by Gov. E. J. Davis. At that
time, and but for these strifes,
much tho largest majority of tbe
strong men of the State would have
coalesced with the Republican par-
ty. Such men as A. J. Hamilton,
E. M. Pease, E. J. Davis, Jas. H.

but seeing the sheriffs jtotue was too large
for them, they gave up, and were brought \
back to Mason and lodged in jail.
The cattle taken in charge by a part of I
the pvite were penned at Mr. Bower's. !
During the night a party of the said Rob-
j erts commenced to shoot into the pen, and
stampeded the cattle, thereby, as they
thought, destroying the proof their guilt.
Thursday, August 13, 1874, two of the
defendants were tried upon the charge of
driving out of Mason county 200 head of
cattle without having them inspected.
The evidence not sustaining the charge*,
they were discharged, and the time for
trying the other nine was set for o'clock
Friday morning. Just as tho court ad-
journed, there appeared a party of forty
armed hands of the said Roberts from
Llano and Burnet counties. John Baird,
the leader, informed Wilson Hey, presid-
ing justice of Mason county, trying tbe
case, that they wauted to bail out the men
iu jail, and if they could not bail them out
they intended to take them oat. Judge
